It is already well known that Zhiji Auto apologized to Xiaomi Auto. The reason is that Zhiji used the wrong Xiaomi SU7 motor parameters at the L6 press conference,Xiaomi issued 3 statements in a row after knowing about this incident, condemning the behavior of Zhiji Auto,Even used more serious words such as "harassment" and "smear",So Zhiji Auto apologized to Xiaomi Auto three times。
But with the fermentation of the incident, the reversal soon came, and some netizens began to ask Xiaomi, do you want to apologize to Porsche?
[Wrong Porsche parameters used in the press conference]
First of all, Xiaomi also benchmarked the Porsche Taycan at the press conference, but Porsche's parameters were also wrong. Recently, some netizens said that Xiaomi's benchmarking Taycan data displayed at the SU7 press conference was also wrong.
Because the new Taycan has not yet been launched in China, Xiaomi's data source is the official website of Porsche in the United States. The 100 km/h acceleration results published on the Porsche website in the United States are in miles, not kilometers. There is also a very serious unit conversion error, because Xiaomi has replaced the power value of the horsepower unit HP on the official website of the United States with the PS value. HP and PS are two different units that are not the same.
It's just that after Xiaomi's press conference, Porsche did not pursue Xiaomi's numerical errors. But after the press conference, Xiaomi investigated the numerical error of the Zhiji car, does this seem that the Xiaomi car pattern is not big enough?
[Xiaomi SU7 design pays tribute to Porsche]
The styling design of the Xiaomi SU7 also borrows from Porsche, and the styling design, including the body color, has similarities. Of course, Xiaomi is talking about paying tribute to Porsche. And NIO, ideal, including Zhiji L6, are at least original designs, and there is no obvious tribute to which brand. So from this point of view, does Xiaomi Auto want to apologize to Porsche?
Many people see this and say that the nature of Xiaomi is different from that of Zhiji, and Zhiji is a comprehensive plagiarism, especially at the press conference. And Xiaomi did not, Xiaomi recognized the excellence of Porsche Tesla and expressed its willingness to continue to catch up.
Of course, we do not rule out that the Zhiji poster and the Xiaomi poster are almost the same. But the imitation of the Xiaomi car has always accompanied the brand.
[Xiaomi has been paying tribute]
As far as the outfit is concerned, Lei Jun is deliberately imitating Jobs in the dress on the release of Xiaomi mobile phones. In the dress at the Xiaomi car press conference, Lei Jun was deliberately imitating Elon Musk. The similarity is so high, not to mention the previous imitation of Apple's mobile phone by Xiaomi mobile phones, so does Xiaomi want to apologize to Apple, does it want to apologize to Tesla?
So I think the current business environment in China is very competitive, and there are comparisons every day. That being the case, I think unless all domestic car brands compare with foreign brands. Otherwise, when it comes to the comparison of domestic brands, it is inevitable that mistakes will occur, and Chinese brands will inevitably learn from foreign successful experience when developing. So I think Zhiji Auto has apologized, and Xiaomi should be more generous.
